Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Partially cooking the bacon is a key step to these perfectly succulent shrimp wrapped in bacon! A crowd pleasing appetizer recipe that's also great for keto and low carb diets. Note that you'll need toothpicks to secure the bacon strips around the shrimp.

📝 Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon (halved crosswise (see recipe note))
• 16 large shrimp (peeled except for the tail and deveined)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt)
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 425˚F.
2. 2Arrange bacon slices, leaving space around each, on oven safe rack placed inside a baking sheet. Bake 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of your bacon. It should still be pliable when you remove it from the oven.
3. 3Meanwhile, place shrimp in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper; toss to coat.
4. 4When partially cooked bacon slices are cool enough to handle (about 5 minutes after you remove from oven), wrap each slice of bacon around one raw shrimp, securing with a toothpick; return to oven safe rack. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
5. 5Bake 10 minutes more until shrimp are pink and bacon is cooked through. Serve.
